Canary Wharf tower wins 2016 Carbuncle Cup

12th September 2016

Lincoln Plaza, a 31-storey luxury residential tower block near Canary Wharf, has been awarded the 2016 Carbuncle Cup by Building Design magazine, which labelled it a  "brain-numbing jumble of discordant shapes, patterns, materials and colours”. A spokesman for developer Galliard Homes said the “scheme sold out to buyers, so clearly the project is liked by the purchasers”, adding that "the London Borough of Tower Hamlets appointed a design committee to review the architectural plans for this site, and the design committee loved the project and its design”.
